[swfmill] swfmill needs your help.

[Jon Molesa]

Alright, 
	Thank you Dan.  I will get started on some documentation then.  One
of the interesting things I've discovered while using swfmill that needs
documentation is the nesting of tags.  I could create clips inside of
clips, place those clips or leave them for later.  So yes there is room
for extension to Mark's guide which was my main point of reference
followed by a lot of trial and error.  I'm still no swfmill expert.
Even with the simple dialect.  I'm not a bad writer though.  If anyone
has any specific examples they like to share of adding sound(mp3) and/or
video to a clip using swfmill that they'd allow me to study and include
in the docs please send the file to me off list.  Also, if anyone has
any masks, gradients, or vector drawing clips I'd like to see them as
well.  Also, has anyone every tried a menu with swfmill?  I'd give
proper credit to anyone sharing their source, but it would save me a lot
of time if I could just study something known to work.  Hopefully there
are some kind souls on here willing to share.

	It would also be useful to see some other Makefile or build.xml as a
reference.

	Thanks.

What seems most important to me, though, is geting a comprehensive reference to the swfml-simple functionality, with examples. Very much like Mark's guide or the osflash page (but complete). The OSFlash page also misses some basic introduction into swfmill's function as a XSLT processor, the difference between lowlevel and simple dialects, etc..

I've received another "0.2.11.22 works ok on my ~350 SWFs" off-list, so that makes three-- two more success reports to go before i'm willing to release (Note that if swfmill receives more fixes, we'll have to test again-- so be quick).
